FREAKS OF THE FASHIONS.
l nave promised nv lady readers some
fashion notes recently, so | condense the
following from an unimpeachable author
ity:
one Of the most extra ordinary freaks
OF fashion INDUCED in during the past
winter las been the entire absence of
white under garments for ladies'; colored
stockings were hrst decreed instead OF
white ones and then all the rest of the
underwear followed suit. The extreme OF
elegance lie for lady in ball toilette to
be entirely arrsyed in garments the color
OF nsT dress. The undermost garments
OF slrsh. the corset OF satin, the inner
petacoa; OF finely embroidered flannel,
the outer one of taffetas, must all De in the
paIesblue, or pink, or scarlet Of the dress.
Fine cambria, dotted or striped in tine
linens IN avid scarlet, ana finished with
scalops in button-hOle embroidery in
scarlet thread, is used as q substitute for
surah for tAe undergarments. Even the
handkerchief is no longer white, but is in
colored cambria, bOrdered with button
hole stitch embroidery In white, and nav
Ing the wearer's monogram worked in
white. Ruches IN crepe llsse or in plated
cambria to De worn TO the throat and
wrists are as totally out Of fashion IS
though they had never been In it. In fact,
nothing white remains but the night
dress, and that is now supplemented by a
matinee In cashmere or surah, elabOr-
ately trimmed with lace and ribbon, which
the fair wearer is supposed TO slip on be-
lore taking her early cup of coffee or tea.
sTAGE.DooR WASHERS
are not unknown in our country, though
we never see the sights there that can be
seen any night at any London theatre
where comic opera or burlesque is being
played. But it remains for the Shah of
Persia to eclipse everything known in
thatllne.
\ Frenchman, one NJ. Leger, knowing
the Shah's partially for European rev.
els, has just taken an opera boutfe ON
pany TO the Persian capital. He was
certain the Shah would honor the first
night, and that all the big bashaws would
follow their N onarch's example. And so
they did, not only in coming TO the snow,
but in wnat they did when they got there.
The curtain had not been up twenty min
utes when NJ. Leger received note from
HIS Majesty making handsome bid for
three OF the chorus ladies. Before the piece
was over thepuzzled manager was in pos
session Of cash offers for the whole Of the
female members of his company. The
tastes OF the bssbaws in the audience
were varied; ia most cases each would-be
sutton mad selected blonde and a bru-
nette, aud one rich old General from the
Caucasus offered to transfer the whole
Oevy of twenty-fOur fair Parisiennes to his
narem. On the state OF the audience being
made known to the interested parties they
fatty refused 20 perform again, and NJ.
Leger, half-ruined, has betaken himself
and his company TO the less cOmbustible
atmosphere of st. Petersburg.
''HAPPY IDEA"
Speaking, or rather writing Of queer
scenes in a theatre, Bronson Towards
